Country Road Christmas Time

county road christmas time everybody's flying in
past the rows of trees where for ten dollars even
the lady'll tie them up with string and mistletoe
driving long way down to lake ontario

i'm so tired of flying
all of this invention
passing off the truth
framed in good intention
everybody smiled, looked down and looked away
everybody held out for better days

why don't you call back?
why don't you say what hurts the most
is finding out what you let slip away was
what you needed the most.
yeah yeah yeah.

everybody missed you
at the christmas party
where we talked about our year
like we were burying bodies
everybody smiled, looked down and looked away
everybody held out for better days

401 coffee, 401 cigarettes
everybody tries so hard to forget
about where they came up from
forget where they learned how to love

why don't you call back?
why don't you say what hurts the most
is finding out what you let slip away
was what you needed the most.
yeah yeah yeah.

county road christmas time
everybody is flying in
county road christmas time
